The black cat was giving him a chance. He was almost shocked that she said yes, when all of her figure and expression said otherwise. Despise, even, maybe. Or was that just a reflection of my own thoughts? He wondered whether his thoughts were worse than reality, or the opposite. Oh, I hope so.

He nodded, an amused gaze quickly replacing his shock so he wouldn't look weak. "I'm following ya." He replied, sticking his tongue out to take the ferret before his teeth grabbed it. It felt sticky with blood and cold as death, but for once, his life seemed fit to take a real turn.

But will it be positive?

He walked silently, registering everything around him. Smells, plants, and landmarks of this pine forest surrounded by marshes etcetera.

Oh, this was going to be fun.

Huh? Dawnstar wasn't rattled by the names tossed around. It's not like the clan hid who they were from loners and rogues; she was extremely confused by the kit's admission. Daykit? She doesn't recall Lark ever speaking such a name nor had she said anything about having more than one kit during her first litter.

Yet staring at the kit, as if she could read his mind, the she-cat didn't see any deceit or lies in his body language. Kittens often fail when it comes to lying, worse so to her. This would be quite the story to spin, especially regarding Lark and Sleepysunrise.

"You're going to have to elaborate better than that, hairball." He wasn't giving her enough information to go off, and Dawnstar didn't like making assumptions here. Someone was lying to her, and she needed to figure out who.

Dawnstar's tattered ears turned sideways as she tried to figure out if he was making a jest out of this. His words sounded taunting to her, but if he was, he was hiding it well. This was the biggest problem with her and outsiders, unlike true clanborn cats, they don't understand what vows mean, their importance. Nor how big of an honor it was to earn ranks.

If she hadn't found those rare few special loners, she would have stopped taking in outsiders a long time ago. "The latter," She orders.

[Is Faith a sphinx(hairless) cat?]
So, just nothing unfortunate soul who stumbled upon ShadowClan's territory. How dull. At least her mother had taught her how to respect borders before passing away.

"You just found my border and decided to wait here, that it?" She asked, frowning softly. "What's your name, where did you come from, and how did your Mama die?"

Do they ever stop? Dawnstar had been ready to head back to camp, but spun around at the call from the border. Even though she could have ignored the cat, leaving strangers wandering around her border left her tense.

"There is, and she wants you gone." Dawnstar snarls as she veers around a bush in her path, fixing her stare on the loner ahead of her. "Hurry up and start talking, I don't have all day." She snaps impatiently, wanting to get back to camp.

18 Moons - He/Him
Tall sandy tabby tom with green eyes and a long tail

OO! There was a cat here! And she looked like she wanted to rip his throat out, just like ma had told him! He must be getting close. "Hello!" he chirped happily. Talking? That was something he could do. It ran in the family at this point. "M sandpiper, and I'm looking to join ShadowClan! Ma told me that I had a little sister and I was like 'WHAAAAAAATTTTTTTT' and I figured outsider life was boring wi' ma and pa, so I decided to go looking for her! Told me she was in a clan called ShadowClan, and they lived in the forest and were big cats that always looked angry, but ya know, never judge a book by its cover am I right? Anyway they pointed me thisaway and told me my sis was named clover? Have ya heard of her? How's she doin? And can I join? I'd think it be super duper awesome fighting and living alongside a buncha cats instead of my ma and pa, lemme tell ya they can be boriiiinnnggggggg!"

Faith tipped her head, her eyes clouding. How did Mama die? The worst story she could be asked to tell. A... A big scary guy... he pushed her in water and he drow-ded her. She croaked, looking at her paws before she turned her head back to look at the big she-cat once again.

Name: red
Age: 25 moons
Gender: female
Rank Request: warrior
New Name: open to suggestions, but would like to keep red or blood as a prefix! (bloodsong, redstorm...?)
Reason for Joining: she is suffering the unwanted pursuit of an admirer and seeks both the protection and structure of clan life.

Starter:

it had taken her a couple days, but under the cover of darkness red had finally reached her destination. with any luck, her swiftness and unpredictable move would leave her pursuer befuddled for enough time to obtain the protection she needed. still, the she-cat found herself looking over her scarred shoulder for an all-too-familiar silhouette. he wouldn't dare come this close, she told herself. perhaps that made her stupider than him. indeed, the acrid layered scent of territorial markings was strong enough to make her fur stand on end. and she hated when her fur wasn't flat.

but this was the place to be, as she understood it. this was shadowclan. or at least, a few paces ahead was shadowclan. red would not cross the boundary until invited to do so. that would rather make her a hypocrite, wouldn't it?

so the blood-colored she-cat sat primly at the border, dark ears twitching and alert for the next patrol or warrior to take notice of her presence. while she waited, she assessed her surroundings quietly, taking measure of the distance between the eery pines, noting where the ground became swamp-like, and mapping where the moonlight could not reach.

Daykit thinned his lips. Elaborate? How further? He figured he'd said as much as he could, but apparently this cat didn't really buy his story. Or at least, didn't quite understand it. He wasn't sure what was so hard to understand about what he was saying, but he wouldn't be opposed to elaborating. Or whatever Dawnstar wanted.

"I'm Lark's kit. And Sleepysunrise's... Ah, littermate," He tilted his head. "I'm going to assume neither of them ever told you about me. I was stillborn, so I believe I wasn't very important in the first place. I... Don't know how much more you need me to say." He was pretty regretful, that he didn't know what the large feline wanted from him. He wished he knew more things.

Yay, it was another chatty one. Dawnstar wanted to yeet him over a cliff five seconds after his mouth opened. It was so tempting to turn around and walk away, but she didn't want him thinking that was silent permission to follow her. She had questions she had to risk her sanity for, damn her curiosity.

"Who was your mother, and how does she know of ShadowClan?" Another missing cat turn traitor, perhaps. It wouldn't make sense how the tom could be an older brother and never have heard of a younger sibling otherwise. Ignoring the fact that she had no clue what a book was nor a cover, she focuses on the name Clover. Cloverlark, that chattiness must run in the family. She couldn't tell if the tom was an adopted son or a birth, the thought of the latter fouled her mood.

Regardless, she wasn't keen on taking the cat in for a family reunion. "No, none of beeswax, and no. I am not bringing some foolish brat into my home because he wants to see a sister he's never heard of until now. Go run home to mommy and daddy, you're making my ears ring with your insufferable blabbing." She snaps after a long moment in thought.

Did she believe him? Nope, not at all. She couldn't say if he was lying or not; nothing to tell her if he was, but Dawnstar was naturally distrustful until proven otherwise. That's how it usually went with the older ones, guard up and vigilant. So long as he didn't do anything to jeopardize her clanmates' lives or mess with her clan, Dawnstar wouldn't crack his head open.

"From now on, you'll be known as Deerclaw. You'll live amongst my clan's apprentices and be treated as such. You will not leave camp alone without the cat I assign as your mentor or a warrior escort. If you're found outside the camp alone, you will be exiled. If you give me any reason to distrust you, I'll kill you and ask questions later. You have a lot to learn, I hear you're slacking on your lessons; you're gone. You get one chance, use it wisely." She warns and beckons the tom to follow her.
[Go ahead and submit him to ShadowClan]

[We might have to terminate this joining then. Sphynx cats can't live outside, let alone survive in the wild. I have a few of them as pets; their lack of fur leaves them vulnerable to skin damage and sunburn, and due to their higher body temperature, with no fur, they need to remain in a temperature-regulated environment. They get too cold and they get sick and die. Also, I'm half certain sphynxs aren't allowed on the site, but you can check in with staff for that.]

[Your cat can't have a blood red pelt as far as I'm aware.]
Her pelt stands out even in the darkness. Bright amber eyes gleamed in the dark forest as the humongous feline padded through some ferns and into the stranger's line of sight. Her tongue darted out to swipe over her muzzle as she stared at the cat with cold disinterest.

"You've been standing around here for a while. I was hoping you were passing through, but sadly, I got my hopes up. What are you wasting my time for?" Dawnstar meows in a gruff, low tone.

[I need a starter]

Okay, so the kit was from the first litter. She growls softly when the kit hits the nail on the head. No one thought to tell her about him at all. She didn't care if he was a stillborn or not. Lark had said that she only had one kit, liar! Simply because a kit shows up dead doesn't make it any less your kit. She had already been livid with her traitorous daughter, but now it was worse.

"So Sleepyrise saw you and didn't bring you home..." They were going to have to talk about that later. "As I can't see you making up a lie of this proportion, I suppose I should welcome you home. With StarClan quiet, I'm surprised the deceased can still return." She meowed absentmindedly, calling the kit over with a nudge of her chin. If he was lying, she could always toss him out later.

"Come along, Daykit, we'll get you settled in the nursery and then we'll have a talk with your older sister." She was sure it was nothing serious, Sleepysunrise probably simply forgot or was spooked into believing what she saw wasn't true, but Dawnstar still needed to know why she hadn't been told. Her granddaughter told her everything...but this.
[All done, you can go ahead and submit him to ShadowClan.
